SUMMARY:WAGS
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Afternoon Go Sailing (WAGS) happens every Wednesday of the year (weather permitting). Enthusiastic yachties take the afternoon off work and enjoy a friendly race around the local islands of Moreton Bay. \nIf you’d like to join the fun\, head to the RQYS Bistro from 1100 hrs to enter your yacht or register your interest as crew. Our WAGS Team will do their best to place visiting sailors on a yacht\, but please note that spots are strictly subject to availability on the day and cannot be guaranteed. \nCrew Registration in the RQ Bar\nAfter signing in at main reception\, head to the RQYS Bistro and make yourself known to the WAGS Coordinators. They will try to match you with a vessel if there is a space available. \nPlease be aware: \n\nPlacement is prioritied as follows:\n\n\nRQYS Members\nMembers of another Australian Sailing affiliated yacht club.\nSail Pass holders\n\n\nThe number of crew spots depends entirely on how many boats are entered and whether skippers have spare space.\nOn some days\, demand may exceed availability\, meaning you may not be placed on a vessel.\n\nSailing Duration\nDepending on the weather and your assigned vessel\, WAGS races generally run for 3–4 hours. \n\n\n\nWhat to Bring: \n\nA bottle of water\nClothes you don’t mind getting wet\nNon-marking shoes (to protect the deck)\n\nWhy WAGS Matters\nWAGS is an important pathway into sailing\, giving newcomers the chance to experience the sport in a relaxed but competitive environment. Many participants go on to complete learn-to-sail courses or become RQYS members. It’s also a great way for experienced sailors without their own boat to get regular time on the water\, building skills and enjoying the camaraderie of our sailing community. \n

SUMMARY:Topic Talks - Still\, I Sail: Beyond the Trade Winds - Med to Moreton Bay
DESCRIPTION:Stay on after WAGS for a special evening at RQYS.   \nWe invite you to join special guest speaker and solo world sailor and adventurer Banu Oney for an amazing presentation called “Still\, I Sail: Beyond the Trade Winds – Med to Moreton Bay”. \nDr. Banu Öney is a Turkish sailor and lifelong maritime voyager whose connection to the sea began in childhood. For more than twenty years\, she has lived continuously aboard her boats\, sailing extensively across the Marmara Sea\, the Aegean\, and the Eastern Mediterranean\, before expanding her voyages to the Red Sea\, the Western Mediterranean\, the Atlantic Ocean\, and the Caribbean. \nIn later years\, together with her husband\, New Zealand boatbuilder Peter Saggers\, she explored less-travelled routes through the Great Lakes\, the Pacific Northwest\, Alaska\, the U.S. West Coast\, and the South Pacific—passages that present unique navigational\, climatic\, and logistical challenges. \nIn this Topic Talk\, Dr. Öney shares practical insights\, lessons learned\, and memorable experiences from these voyages aboard her yachts DENIZE\, DENIZE II\, and DENIZE III\, offering fellow sailors inspiration and firsthand knowledge from routes beyond the usual cruising grounds. \nIf you have ever wanted to sail to one of these locations\, Banu will be able to offer first-hand insight into her adventures to: \n\nSea of Marmara\nErie Canal\nAegean Sea\nThe Great Lakes\nMediterranean Sea\nPacific North West\nRed Sea\nAlaska\nUSA West Coast\nCaribbean Sea\nSouth Pacific Ocean\n\nPlease RSVP by using the ticket link below for this free and fun evening at RQYS.  Open to Members\, Guests and Visitors. \n
